I've loaded the plane and its supposed to use the default 747 virtual cockpit. But after loading the plane, the virtual cockpit is dark, completely black except for the gauges. Any ideas?

Same for me.....cool aircraft though 8-)

The Dreamlifter's 'texture.BDL' folder is missing the 'texture.cfg' file so it can't find the vc textures.

Go into the Dreamlifter's 'texture' folder and copy the 'texture.cfg' file to the 'texture.BDL' folder.

Thanks Dave, that was the ticket 8-)

Thanks Dave. Haven't been able to get back to flying her, so I haven't done much digging into the folder myself. Makes sense. I'll try it tonight.

When I unzip this plane into my simobjects file there is no texture.cfg file. Model, panel , sound, soundai folders and Texture.bdl folders yes......as well as installer and aircraft.cfg.

The gauges are all there the rest of the cockpit is black as night though.

You don't say where you got this aircraft. The FSX update posted here works fine for me "straight out of the box" ---> http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Boeing+747-400LCF+Dreamlifter&categoryId=



PS.

as well as installer and aircraft.cfg.

By installer I suspect you mean the AIR file. This is not an installer so don't try to run it. (Installing Adobe AIR changes the icon & file description of FS AIR files but does not affect the actual files in any way.)

I didn't get it from the update.....I am d/l now. If you don't hear back from me then you know it worked and that you have my sincerest thanks. Happy Flying....

******* update****** this works. What a beast.....that's what she said
